Review summary

We enjoyed the cruise very much, went with our entire family and the staff went out of their way to make it such a great experience. They get to know you and remember you and make you feel special.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation went smoothly, no issues.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Being gluten free I was happy with how the staff helped me in main dining room; however, I didn't feel as though the staff when I went to buffet knew my options. I was disappointed that there were not many options like buns for a hamburger and no rolls at dinner. There was only one type of bread for everything unlike other cruise lines I have gone on.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

The pool and Jacuzzi- they weren't the nicest we have experienced compared to ruby and another cruise line. One pool was shut down for the first two days and the kid splash pool was shut down the entire cruise and my daughter wad unable to use.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We attended a lot of shows on the ship and enjoyed most of them! Definitely had more geared towards older crowd though.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5

I didn't realize that I could bring my daughter and stay with her even though she was under three until the second to last day. Once we took her, she loved it. So many cute activities and staff were great!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All the staff were great! Nice, helpful, and definitely made the experience what it was.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

It was designed well, the pool decks you could tell are just getting older; however, still clean and well maintained overall.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We loved our room and the lady who cleaned are room was so friendly and great! She also was very sweet to our daughter and made the whole experience easy traveling with a child.
